7 Songs with Leona Lewis in Hong Kong, 2 March 2012

2 March 2012, Leona Lewis held a private concert in Hong Kong Landmark.

Well, actually Landmark invited Leona Lewis to come. Reason behind? I think it was for the rebranding of Landmark, and maybe because Leona’s name starts with a “L”; the same as Landmark.

The invitation said party starts at 9pm, but I suspected the concert was not going to start until at least 10pm…which turned out to be true, Leona showed up on the stage around 11pm. Honestly, it was no surprise and somehow acceptable.

There was a DJ girl playing music while we were waiting, canapes and wine/champagne served.

Interestingly, a pre-performance took place before Leona stepping on the stage. An electronic violin girl played some music while playing some green laser light trick, I took a short video clip (all videos are taken by my iPhone 4s). It’s not something new but a truly powerful/engaging way to kick off a long waited concert.

Then the beloved Leona Lewis, I loved her first 2 music albums but then kind of lost track.

Her assistant placed her song list on the stage, right in front me. So, another snap shot!

Leona followed the song list, and started singing 1 of her most popular songs – BETTER IN TIME.

She wore the same outfit throughout the concert, simple but stylish.

One of the most anticipated songs – GLASS HEART was sung too.

I was never a concert man, as I was never a fan of big crowd. Luckily, this concert was quite intimidate; no invitation, no going-in.

Sure, there was still a crowd but considerably civilized.

Of course, I got few pushing; many screaming from some young fellows. Overall, it was great and Leona was great. She gave credits to the dance crew and the back singers. She even rotated with the back singers, sat down with them and performed altogether like a girls’ band.

She sweat, she danced and most importantly; she sang. No doubt, she has a great voice; but more importantly, she is friendly.
